Alonso Martinez is a clutch, consistent goal scorer whose playoff solo goal and international performances have raised his stock at NYCFC.
I made the preliminary squad of 25 for the 2006 World Cup, but two players were cut and I was one of them, Ruiz tells FourFourTwo. Four years later, for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, we played the last qualifier against the United States if we'd won, we would have qualified. I scored both goals and we were leading 2-0, but they equalised in the last minute. That meant we had a play-off against Uruguay and didn't make it through.
